SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, March 31 at 12:30pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom!\nWe will be discussing Andrew Ridker’s: Hope: A Novel \nJoin Zoom Meeting  \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86846990506?pwd=0rRu9hS6BaUSeiQwJW1FbzsM3O6DMx.1 \nMeeting ID: 868 4699 0506\nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS \nA New York Times Editors’ Choice \nA Boston Globe\, Forward\, and Times of Israel Best Book of the Year\n“Riotous. . . . Hilarious . . . impeccably written . . . . Intelligent\, bighearted\, spew-your-gefilte-fish-funny.” —The New York Times Book Review \n“A writer with this much talent can take his readers anywhere.” —The Washington Post \n“Painfully funny. . . . This rivals Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s Fleishman is in Trouble in its pitch-perfect portrayal of Jewish American life.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) \n“A comedy of (bad) manners. . . . Engaging.” —The Boston Globe \nA hilarious and heartfelt novel about a seemingly perfect family in an era of waning American optimism\, from the acclaimed author of The Altruists \nThe year is 2013 and the Greenspans are the envy of Brookline\, Massachusetts\, an idyllic (and idealistic) suburb west of Boston. Scott Greenspan is a successful physician with his own cardiology practice. His wife\, Deb\, is a pillar of the community who spends her free time helping resettle refugees. Their daughter\, Maya\, works at a distinguished New York publishing house and their son\, Gideon\, is preparing to follow in his father’s footsteps. They are an exceptional family from an exceptional place\, living in exceptional times. \nBut when Scott is caught falsifying blood samples at work\, he sets in motion a series of scandals that threatens to shatter his family. Deb leaves him for a female power broker; Maya rekindles a hazardous affair from her youth; and Gideon drops out of college to go on a dangerous journey that will put his principles to the test. \nFrom Brookline to Berlin to the battlefields of Syria\, Hope follows the Greenspans over the course of one tumultuous year as they question\, and compromise\, the values that have shaped their lives. But in the midst of their disillusionment\, they’ll discover their own capacity for resilience\, connection\, and\, ultimately\, hope. \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nAndrew Ridker’s debut novel\, The Altruists\, was a New York Times Editors’ Choice\, a Paris Review Staff Pick\, and a People Book of the Week. It was translated into more than a dozen languages. He is the editor of Privacy Policy: The Anthology of Surveillance Poetics and his writing has appeared in The New York Times\, Esquire\, Le Monde\, and Bookforum\, among other publications. He is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.
